Rosie O'Donnell: Radical Christianity is just as threatening as Radical Is
Disses Bush Iraq policy on The View

Writing on the hysterical "News Busters" site, Scott Whitlock notes that Rosie O'Donnell didn't wait before "letting fly with her extreme liberalism" in her new gig on The View.

Perish.

In the video to the right O'Donnell notes that radical Christianity is as threatening as radical Islam -- eliciting ooohs and ahhhs of horror from the facial-ed faces of her co-hosts. One notes that radical Christians don't want to kill us.

Ahhh, so threatening is only what threatens us and our children. I see. And threatening to remake America into a Christian theocracy ain't no thang.

Elsewhere, according to Whitlock, O'Donnell responds to Bush's recent comment that "The safety of America depends on the outcome of the battle in the streets of Baghdad," with: "And I would say the outcome, really, of America really depends on the battle in the streets of New Orleans, that that city is still decimated and $303 billion have been spent fighting this war. If, literally, a third of that money was put into Katrina and facilitated with honest people who knew how to do it, we wouldn't be in the situation we're in."

Ouch.

Whitlock responds in the way the bankrupt always do: with a snide comment about the $110 billion "designated" for Katrina relief: "O’Donnell may be unaware of this, but $110 billion has been designated for the Gulf Coast clean-up. My math could be wrong, but I believe that’s at least a third."

A.) I'd like to see Whitlock's face as he survives 13 months without a house on "designated" funds B.) The relief has been so mismanaged that even the money going there isn't being put to good use (due to failed core administration belief in the "free market") and C.) The point is: this government is such a failure, it can't even keep its own citizens safe and warm. (NewsBusters)

5. Barbara Walters knew what she was getting...
...when she hired Rosie. I think Barbara's very open minded. :)

6. I am definitely going to have to listen to how Rush rails about this
today. It will probably be framed as the great liberal takeover or some other such nonsense. It just cracks me up when these people confront the truth. Christianity is a waring religion just the same as Islam.

11. Ah Barbara - for decades she was Roy Cohen's beard, or
was it the other way around ? Barbara is nothing that she seems.

She is and always has been a right winger. Her best friend - the woman who is the single biggest fundraiser for the RNC. Think her name is Mossbacher. She was Ariana Huffington's close friend when Ariana was carrying water for Newtie. Don't think they are close anymore since Huff went over to the dark side.

10. "Just As?"
Radical Christians think it's not killing if they simply starve people to death.

God didn't love them, so they didn't have food or shelter. Tsk, tsk, that's too bad.

They do it in their own homes, kicking their children out for getting pregnant or being homosexual, and they do it in the world.

And whenever they do overtly kill people (like when we drop bombs on innocent people in Iraq) they are absolutely certain God is on their side.

"Extreme Liberalism" is a damned sight better than most human extremisms.

Murdering Christianity and Murdering Islam are both faces of the same evil.

12. Rosie really puts her money where her mouth is.
Noticed the other day that she gave about $40,000 to Dem candidates in May and June alone.
